About the Item
A Mother and her Children. A mother clutches her toddler to her breast and grabs her young son as they make for the shoreline to escape the churning Pacific Ocean waters. Are they running playfully or are they afraid of the next big wave. It is left for the viewer to decide.
Artist Carole Garland paints the turbulent waters with an impressionist's flair, expressing the beautiful harmonies of the ocean's waters in subtle shades of lavender and turquoise teal and mixes of olive green and phthalo blue. And white, of course. At the same time, she captures the flowing movement of the breaking waves and the waters lapping at the shoreline. Likewise, the figures are painted, not with cool academic precision, but with an eye to reveling in the beauty of bodies in motion.
This 16"x12" oil painting on a wood panel has natural wood sides which serve as a frame. The back is wired for easy hanging.
